In his younger years, Frank piloted aircrafts at Gorham Municipal Airport in New Hampshire. He was a skilled craftsman, building several houses in the Kingsbury area with his close friend, Joseph Trackey. Frank and his step-father, Charles Clark constructed large industrial boilers all around the New England area, including the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant in Vernon, VT.
